Flirting with Disaster was the second chance romance palate cleanser that I needed after finishing some heavier books. 
 
Naina Kumar has such a natural storytelling style, and I loved following along as her characters fell for each other. Flirting with Disaster had these subtle nods to one of my all-time favorite rom-coms, Sweet Home Alabama, which made it even more enjoyable. 
 
However, my main issue with the book was Meena's character. While I understand that characters can have their ownstruggles, Meena's constant back-and-forth was a bit much. She would feel one way, only to change her mind on the next page. The back-and-forth felt jarring at times and took away from the overall enjoyment of the story. 
 
 
Audiobook Review: β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜†β˜† 
Flirting with Disaster was narrated by Soneela Nankani, who has also narrated Shark Heart, Say You'll Be Mine, Dating Dr. Dil, and the Astrology House. She did a fabulous job narrating this book, and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
